Merry Christmas - dove hunt

Lowcountryoutdoors.com wishes all family and friends a very Merry Christmas. What a rainy and windy day it was, making it difficult on those who had sporting plans - after family time and traditional meals. Fortunate to make it into a dove field on Christmas Eve, several Lowcountry wingshooters were able to enjoy the chance at taking a legal limit of 15 doves per person. Warm and cloudy weather played a part in the fact that the doves simply did not fly that well, and no one was able to bag more than a few doves - but that is just part of hunting. Friends still had the chance to visit about recent hunting stories and future outdoors plans - all with the approach of the Christmas holiday and its outdoor traditions.
